What's good blog world? Got an idea from a high school friend about this blog topic and it came right on time. It's a feeling that's been dominating my life lately and some of my friends as well. I'm going to take a different route and start off with a definition of tenacious, the word that tenacity originates from.
| 1. | holding fast; characterized by keeping a firm hold (often fol. by of): a tenacious grip on my arm; tenacious of old habits. |
| 2. | highly retentive: a tenacious memory. |
| 3. | pertinacious, persistent, stubborn, or obstinate. |
| 4. | adhesive or sticky; viscous or glutinous. |
| 5. | holding together; cohesive; not easily pulled asunder; tough. |
In a nutshell, it's all about fighting for what is yours. I've gone through a lot of tumultuous situations this summer and have had to simply suck it up and keep growing. This is what I want to extend to my followers on Facebook, twitter, blogspot, anywhere I can reach. A friend of mine recently said to me that life has simply gotten harder in college and I replied that I am happy to hear that. While going through life problem free is something that we all seek, it is simply not realistic to hope for such. Experience is surely the greatest teacher and trials and tribulations do nothing but make truimph more appealing...
While we all would like to simply be handed everything on a silver platter, it is not the sum of things that we accumulate in this world that will be remembered. It is the lives we touch, the changes we impose, the youth that we influence, the relationships that we will build. As the Bible implies, it profits a man nothing to gain the world but lose his soul. Even further, it profits a man nothing to gain the world and not have a soul at all. Aim for greatness but please take the time to enjoy the path that must be crossed in order to get there...
As we become more succesful and grow in the world, it is important to remember whenever a tough situation is reached, the same steps that were taken to defeat a previous obstacle can be used for that situation. As long as you are living and breathing and have the ability to improve yourself, keep the faith in yourself and know that you can do better. The Lord puts no more on us then we can deal with so no task is unconquerable. As I said in a recent Facebook status, enjoy challenges and problems and keep the faith that your season for dominance is on the way. All is reachable as long as you remain tenacious and believe that you can reach it. All you have to do is stretch....
